Many spend a lifetime in search of the type of happiness that the people of Bhutan exude. It’s everywhere you turn and highly contagious!

I pause for a quick second to catch my breath. The clouds are beginning to roll away and I can just make out the profile of the sacred Buddhist monastery, Tiger’s Nest. As the exquisite facade of Tiger’s Nest becomes clearer, so do my frenzied thoughts. It’s funny what a little stillness can do for […]
